This is the other Great Illustrated Classic that my father read to me. I have never read Little Women in full or seen all of any movie of it, so I gather that everything I know about this story is from this. I remember the clothespin on the nose, one of them cutting her hair, the dress getting burned at the dance. I remember it being an enjoyable story, but since this was a condensed children's version and because I was a child, I think that I missed out on a lot of the depth and detail of the story. I think I might read the orginal version sometime as an adult.

This is a novelization about Mrs. Tom Thumb who stood 2 feet, 8 inches tall. The novel is told in the first person, Vinnie's (Mrs. TT) and just as the title says, like an autobiography. I was completely charmed by this little two foot narrator even though she isn't perfect. She is strong, determined, prideful and ashamed both, arrogant, selfish, and yet also extremely loving. Throughout the novel, she does wrong and she does right, just like everyone else and her narrative is very honest. Branded one of "nature's occasional mistakes" when it became realized that she was never grow past the height of a two year old, Vinnie refuses to let her parents coddle and protect her. She demands to go to school. This is the strong and determined Vinnie I admired so. She proves to the town that "little people" have the same abilities to think and learn as every one else and not only excels in school, but becomes a teacher. She's got a desire to be the center of attention, however, and just settling for being a school teacher in a tiny town isn't satisfying Vinnie. Here's the pride and arrogance. She joins a showboat touring the Mississippi and has an unsavory "manager." This part of her life occurs right before the Civil war breaks out so there is some interesting historical stuff merged in here. She also makes a wonderful friend in a giant woman. This is the nice side of Vinnie. I was very touched. From the showboat, she goes to P.T. Barnum and here her character starts to change.. and not necessarily for the better. She agrees to a publicity stunt of a marriage, gets her also tiny sister involved in show business (NOT for the right reasons), and there's a baby mishap I don't want to reveal. Here, Vinnie gets selfish. It's all about Vinnie.. except for her sister, Minnie, she doesn't give much thought to others. But she really does love Minnie and for a while, Minnie somewhat steals the show. I actually cried at one point. Minnie has a sad story. I didn't know whether to call her brave or incredibly dumb, but it is very moving. I used both the words "ashamed" and "arrogant." A strange combination? How can one be both? This is interesting.. Vinnie is very pleased with herself, sees herself as something really special. After all, she's had tea with the Queen. However, when faced with a troupe of dwarfs while traveling with the Barnum circus, Minnie looks down on them, considers herself above them. Is she really better than them or is she viewing them with shame? Is she afraid she is looking at herself? "..grotesque, misshapen little people.. " And later in the book, this made me think on the above further: In her husband's eyes one day, she sees something that she must admit to herself that she sees in her mirror, "Hurt and determination, both: That's what it was. Hurt at the cruelties the world sometimes threw at us; determination not to let anyone notice...... Perhaps I had also recognized it in the eyes of those misshapen little women from the circus; perhaps I hadn't wanted to.." So is Vinnie putting on an act? This really made me think about how many of us with disabilities try to cover up our discomfort, our hurt, with pride and arrogance.. There were many laugh out moments too. A scene with Mrs. Putnam was hilarious. Vinnie's wit really comes out at times. Also enjoyed her description of her husband toting around his little pistol on the train and her views on Mormon women. This review is already too long or I would quote it all. A beautiful story about an amazing woman who defied all odds, who traveled the world, who touched lives, joined a circus, and so much more.

If you are a Christian or someone seeking to understand spirituality, then I would recommend this book for you. The author takes you through her journies as she seeks meaning in life, even in the smallest aspects. There's no hitting you over the head with Christian rhetoric; rather, there's an invitation to share Anne's doubts, fears, failures and triumphs as she tries to make her own meaning of faith, religion and God. Also, if you get a chance to hear Anne Lamott read in person, don't miss out. She's got great inflection and a wicked sense of humor.

This would be where the inspiration for "The Truman show" came from.

still in process. great perspectives on faith. I'll let you know more when I finish.
An awesome book that just became awesomer now that we're thinking about terrorism so much. What makes a terrorist? Auster's saying maybe they're not always so different from us, and I'm beginning to agree with him.
